Troubleshooting the Drive

Using the OIM

Using the OIM, you can troubleshoot drive problems using one of several methods.

•

If a fault or alarm message is displayed, you can use the message and the Fault or
Alarm Menu to identify the problem.

•

If the drive is not ready, you can use the Diagnostics Menu to identify the problem.

•

If a program error message is displayed, you can use the message to identify the
problem.

7.1

Identifying Problems Indicated by Faults or Alarms

The OIM identifies problems as faults or alarms. A fault is a condition that stops the
drive or prevents it from running. An alarm is a condition that you should be aware of,
but it does not stop the drive or prevent it from running.

When a fault occurs:

•

the fault indicator turns on.

•

the fault is logged.

•

the drive coasts to a stop.

•

a fault message is displayed on the OIM screen, such as the one shown in figure
7.1.
